Friday Fill-Ins

I know that doing the "fill-in's" seems like cheating on writing every (almost) day... but it keeps me disciplined and at least sort of keeps my creativity moving... so...

here we go...

1. It's cold and wet and icky here. I know the rain is good for the garden, and I'm thankful for it- but seriously enough is enough. I so can't wait to get outside without getting drenched-- hopefully this weekend... looking forward to temps in the 70's again!
2.I love tomatoes. Funny thing is that when I was a kid, I totally wouldn't touch them unless they were in ketchup, which oddly enough I wont touch now... hmmm! Give me tomatoes any way... but especially in salsa or in a simple fresh salad. Mmmmm, I'm getting hungry!!
3. My favorite health and beauty product is soap and water. Yes, I'm seriously old fashioned! I just cant see the point of spending a ton of money on (animal tested) chemicals and then putting them on your body, when simple soap and water do just fine.
4. My drive to church is a nice long ride. Leave it to me to find a church that I totally love, and have it be a 50 minute drive each way. Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful drive- mostly country living, lots of farms... even some alpacas!! But there are times when I get out of a late meeting, or it's nasty weather-- that's when the drive gets to me. But... I love my church, my church family and my priests-- wouldn't give it up for the world!
5. Well, first of all I cant stand sentences that start out like this. Usually it's the beginning of a lecture or scolding... kinda makes me cringe. I'll just change it to say, "Well, first and always, our God is an awesome God whose love surpasses anything we can imagine...
"I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." Ephesians 3: 16-19
6. A group of teens from a church; those were the cast of characters in a recent dream and it was a great message from God about his amazing love. See tomorrow's "Then Sings My Soul Saturday" post for more about the dream.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to maybe working in the yard for a bit if the weather (and my headache) clears, tomorrow my plans include making a new recipe for Onion Dip , starting to move the furniture around in my living room/bedroom/ entry way and maybe working outside some more and Sunday, I want to spend the day with David!
